Good luck with your compost. I get a funny feeling you may have a zillion tomato plants next year. :-) A friend put all of her tomatoes in a compost pile and that's exactly what she ended up with - a zillion tomato plants. We have six compost bins but don't use tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squash, melons or eggplant - not leaves or seeds. We do add the banana skins, melon rinds, coffee grounds, egg shells, grass clippings as well as chipped items like leaves, stalks, twigs, branches, pine needles, ashes. There's such a positive feeling about using your own compost: we love it and rely on it.

Three of the bins are on the left in this shot, taken for the asters.
